Violation of Schengenvisum terms? [closed]

I have a 1 year multi-entry Schengen visa (issued by Spain). This visa expires in March 2017 and I want to ask for a new one from March 2017 onwards. In the past year, I spent 20 days in Spain and 10 days in Germany. Now I still have 90 days to spend in this period and I want to spend those 90 days in Netherlands.

Questions:

1) Is it a problem if I come 90 days to Netherlands when I have a Spain issued Schengenvisa which presumes that I should spend the most time in Spain over the course of the 1 year? Meaning at the border can they refuse me?
2) When I have this record in March 2017 when my visa expires, Spain 20 days, Germany 10 days, Netherlands 90 days, and I apply for a new Schengen visa with Spain, will they refuse me because I showed that I spent more time on my visa OUTSIDE Spain, namely Netherlands, so is it a violation and enough reason not to trust me and not give me a Schengen visa anymore never ever?
Is it not so that when you apply for a C visa, Schengen, and you travel for example from 1 April to 15 April to Italy for example, that the Schengen visa is always given for a minimum of 90 days consecutive time, so NOT for specifically my travel dates 1 April to 15 April???

The purpose of the Schengen treaty is to remove internal border controls for EU citizens. They already had the right to cross those borders, Schengen just reduced the probability of being delayed by a check. Obviously open borders must be open for citizens and non-citizens alike, or the citizens would have to stop at the border and show that they are citizens and thus entitled to cross.

On the other hand, Schengen visa may put some restrictions on the holder. Most importantly, visitors may have to provide a premise and an itinerary for the trip and they are expected to tell the truth. When people apply for a Schengen visa, the officials try to judge if the applicant can be trusted to follow the terms of the visa.

Yes, you can easily cross from Spain to the Netherlands and spend more time there than in Spain. If you happen to get caught, e.g. because you're involved in a traffic accident and somebody wants to see your papers, you have a problem. Not so much because you crossed that border, but because you lied about the premise of your trip.
